Metal Bluetooth Headset Review
We've looked at some ruggedised headsets lately, but the Bluetrek Metal fits in at totally the other end of the spectrum as it's currently the thinnest headset on the market. It's so slim, in fact, that you'll be left wondering how Bluetrek managed to fit a battery inside, let alone the rest of the usually headset gubbins. Seriously, this thing measures a mere 4mm at its thickest point, which is just a smidgen thicker than a stick of chewing gum. The Metal is also one of the best looking headsets around at the moment. This is not just because it's so dinky, but also because Bluetrek has bestowed it with clean, angular lines and a classy looking two-tone grey and silver colour scheme (an all black version is also available). Given the headset's tiny dimensions, you'd expect it to also be quite light. In fact, it tips the scales a just 5.5g. One side effect of this is that you can wear it in your ear without the need for an ear hook as the friction from the rubber ear gel is enough to hold it in place. However, if you don't feel comfortable with this, Bluetrek also supplies two transparent plastic ear hooks in the box. These differ in size and are relatively malleable so no matter how big or small your outer ears are one of the two should fit relatively comfortably. Naturally, the headset is also supplied with a range of different ear gels. A total of six are supplied in the box so, again, you shouldn't have much problem finding one to fit your lughole.
